July 11, 2006, San Francisco, CA--At Semicon West this week, Synova (Lausanne, Switzerland) announced that it will open its first micro-machining center (MMC) in the United States, specifically in the San Francisco Bay Area. Slated to open in January 2007, the Silicon Valley-based MMC will serve as a competence center for demonstration, sample testing and application development. In addition, this facility will offer micro-machining services to the local industry. Until now, the company's application labs were based at Synova's headquarters in Switzerland. However, the establishment of a customer support center in the U.S. fortifies Synova's global expansion efforts, providing an optimum environment for the company to better serve its customers throughout the world.

"Establishing our presence here in the U.S. not only demonstrates our commitment to our existing customers, but also shows our focus on speeding the adoption of our technology to an under tapped, yet significant, customer base," said Synova chief executive officer, Bernold Richerzhagen. "The U.S. poses large market opportunities for us in the areas of inkjet printer head MEMS, hard disk drive (HDD) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) sectors. Our establishment here is an important milestone for Synova as we continue to further penetrate these burgeoning markets."
